Choose the option "Use Static IP" and some additional fields will display to complete. You're almost done!

Use the following information to complete the Advanced Settings page

IP Address: Use the IP address noted in Step 2

Router: This is also known as the "wireless gateway" or the IP address to log into the router's configuration page. This can be found in your router's manual. Typically, most routers will use the first three parts of the address (a.k.a octets) with the last being number 1.

For example, if the first three octets of the IP address you noted in Step 2 starts with 192.168.2.xxx, then the router's address is probably 192.168.2.1

This will only set up OpenDNS for the network you chose in the Kindle Fire's wifi list. If the device connects to a different WiFi, repeat the steps above for the new network.

CANNOT CONNECT TO INTERNET:

If for any reason the Kindle cannot connect to the Internet after applying OpenDNS to your WiFi advanced settings. Repeat steps 1 - 4 and disable STATIC IP. Save (if possible) and reboot the device. The issue could be an incorrect IP address for the router, which would need to referenced in the router's manual.
